• The teas are probably one of my non-raw things that I won't give up in addition to a few supplements - but I'm far from a purist :) The water that I steep them at is undoubtedly higher than the 116* allowed, but green teas are a natural antihistamin…

• Oooh I hadn't seen that yet. Vitamix *drool*.... I don't have a vitamix yet, but it's on my wish list :) Maybe after the wedding and honeymoon we can spring for one. I stopped by Thrive last week in Ravenna and man do they have the best smoothies. I…

• Fennel is fantastic. Slippery Elm and marshmallow teas. I supplement with l-glutamine and probiotics - probably not raw. If it's possibly a bacterial issue, garlic and oregano help. Going light on food for 24 hours and then starting back with soft f…

• I always thought it was the high sulfur content was the main cause for the bad breath - I mixed up a batch of spring onions last night and couldn't figure out why my trash smelled like rotten eggs (sulfur). Sure enough - it was the onions. I will re…

  in Acne caused by candida?? Comment by camiheartsraw
• Unfortunately it took about 1-2 months avoiding parabens and SLS to notice a difference. The acne takes a while to recede. It definitely sounds like what you had - rash pattern zits. Not hot! :) I can just now finally wear tanks and sleeveless dress…

• It might be worth reviewing Elaine Gottschal's "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" (available at most libraries and on Amazon). She recommended a diet that is easy to replicate with a raw diet and explained which fruits, grains, etc. feed candida from a sc…

  in Acne caused by candida?? Comment by camiheartsraw
• Long post, but I had rash pattern acne and the source might surprise you. What kind of skin care products do you all use? I have systemic lupus and had candida overgrowth at the beginning of my healing journey. Over the past 3 years, I have tried so…

• I have the same problem with soy. What I find works really well for me is rehydrating dulse (seaweed) and then pulsing in a blender to create a "sauce". The taste is pretty similar from what I can remember and seems to work well in the recipes I've …

  in Bragg's Comment by camiheartsraw
• I have systemic lupus (a serious autoimmune disease) and diet is of utmost importance. Allergies seem to be a huge component, and testing was absolutely critical. If I eat raw and healthy but am still getting a hold of something I'm allergic to, the…

• Soy is one of my many, many allergies :) I've had some success with rehydrating dulse and then using the soak water to make a sauce. It's fairly close in both color and taste - but keep in mind I haven' t had soy in forever so my taste could be a li…

• My doctor prescribed Valtrex and daily vitamin b12 shots. It was over very quickly, and the Valtrex worked well. Load up on anything with b12 (sublingual supplement, leafy greens, sea vegetables). Valtrex struck me as odd and I couldn't place it - i…

• yesterday was a green smoothie, 2 bananas for snack, "better than mashed potatoes" and a salad for lunch, and I went on an eating spree when I got home (not enough calories) and ate coconut meat, a little "raw" cacao bar, and raw cucumber tahini sou…

• I took a class at Thrive this weekend on Sprouting and it was great! Very informed instructor and a lot of fun. I plan on taking more classes - it's nice to talk to someone who is very passionate about raw and to meet other students in the community…

• I just thought I would add that the slime is pretty normal. You just rinse, rinse, rinse until they are clean to the touch again. Chia and Flax seeds do similar things when soaked and have a gelatinous texture which you do not rinse. This helps bind…

  in For those not 100% Raw Comment by camiheartsraw
• Digestive enzymes, ginger, and fennel all help too. I don't cook them but don't seem to have a problem with them. Fruit bugs me instead :P We're all a little different.
